The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially designated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as hazardous substances under the Superfund law. This decision marks a significant step in addressing the environmental and health risks posed by these chemicals.
PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various consumer products and industrial applications. Due to their persistence in the environment and potential adverse health effects, PFAS have raised concerns among scientists, policymakers, and the public.
